摘要
The authors describe four unrelated girls with a distinctive neurologic disorder with early-onset progressive ataxia and hypodontia with a characteristic pattern of delayed dentition. Cerebral MRI shows hypomyelinated white matter and cerebellar atrophy; H-1-MRS of white matter reveals a marked elevation of myo-inositol.
